- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Directions:
- Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up. - Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. - Whip the Cream:
In another bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth. - Assemble the Cheesecake:
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow it to set properly. - Serve:
